Sorites sequence
A Sorites sequence involves a gradual change where each small step seems insignificant, yet over many such steps, the cumulative effect can lead to a significant difference. For example, removing grains of sand one by one from a heap doesn't seem to change anything at first, but eventually, the heap disappears. This illustrates how vague concepts like "heap" or "bald" can be tricky, because small changes don't seem important individually, but their accumulation raises questions about where the boundary lies. The Sorites paradox highlights the challenge of defining precise limits for such vague concepts.
